Amnesty International has just published its 2009 international human rights reports, which once again includes warnings against human rights violations in various countries throughout the Caribbean region, chief among the Cuba (restrictions on freedoms), Jamaica (police killings), and Haiti (political violence). The reports cover areas such as poverty and deprivation, violence against women, the death penalty, and public security.
